KVARKENFEST – A Summery Festival by the Sea!

 

Formal cooperation between Finland and Sweden in the Kvarken region celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022, and to mark this there will be a grand folk festival at Elisa Stadion in Vaasa on 18th of June. 

Top artists from Finland and Sweden will perform at the festival’s main stage. And the ticket is only 5 € or 50 SEK as a symbol of 50 years of cooperation.

PROGRAM:

 

The folk festival will be opened by Vaasa Run, a major running and wellbeing event with the start and finish lines at Elisa Stadion. Outside the stadium there will be a Kidz Run event for children, Folkhälsan’s obstacle course, and lots and lots of fun!

The presenters at both Vaasa Run and Kvarkenfest are well-known TV characters Kaj Kunnas and Jonathan “Jontti” Granbacka who will contribute to a warm and familiar Finnish-Swedish sports match atmosphere.
